Neville Goddard on Acts 27:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 27 in context

Scripture Focus

7And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;

8And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

Acts 27:7-8

Biblical Context

The voyage described in the verses moves through slow sailing and opposing winds. It ends at a place named The fair havens near Lasea.

Neville's Inner Vision

To me, Acts 27:7-8 becomes a map of your inner voyage. The wind not suffering us and the slow sailing are not mere obstacles but the stubborn persistence of a mind clinging to lack. The sea represents the stream of thoughts you entertain; Cnidus and Salmone are the outer conditions your mind resists. The fair havens is an inner harbor you can assume as already real—certainty, rest, and guidance from the I AM. When you stop fighting the weather and allow your inner self to pilot, you move from anxious striving to the felt sense of safe arrival. The practice is simplicity itself: assume you are already in the harbor; revise any sense of lack by feeling the I AM guiding you, affirming that you are safe, that your journey has meaning, and that you have landed where wisdom dwells. Do not seek it in outward winds; let your consciousness yield to the inner harbor, and the world along the shore will align with your now realized state.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and imagine you are already docked in the fair havens near Lasea; feel the harbor's calm and declare, I AM, I am whole, guided, and arrived.
